What would you considered "Ethical Piracy"
Hi guys, first of all, I fully support Piracy. But Im writing a piece on my blog about what I might considere as "Ethical Piracy" and I would like to hear your concepts of it.
Basically my line is if I have the capacity of paying for something and is more convinient that pirating, ill pay. It happens to me a lot when I wanna watch a movie with my boyfriend. I like original audio, but he likes dub, so instead of scrapping through the web looking for a dub, I just select the language on the streaming platform. That is convinient to me.
In what situations do you think is not OK to pirate something? And where is 100 justified and everybody should sail the seas instead?
I would like to hear you.
You're viewing a single thread.
It is always justified to pirate something. Private property is a scam, and intellectual property even more so; there is no justification for these concepts that does not boil down to "because the current dominant economic paradigm requires them in order to function" or "possessions are more important than people." Information should always be free. Period.
Just hypothetically, someone walks into your house, picks up a table and leaves with it. What do you do?
You mean makes an exact copy remotely?
The guy said " Private property is a scam, and intellectual property even more so". I think The table comment was a response to the private property part, not intellectual property.
Yep, exactly this.
Gotta word it differently. You worked really hard to carve a beautiful table out of wood and then somebody comes by and makes an exact clone of it in a few secs and leaves with it.
Im still wondering whether OPs comment on private property was related to non digital assets or not.
Why? What's his motivation? Does he really need a table that badly, or is he just the living embodiment of an unrealistic hypothetical being used to justify a flawed system?
